Before sending out Part II last night, I booted the system from a Slackware
4.0 scsi/net boot disk and rescue root and just left it there.  When I got
home from work today, I rebooted from one of the 2.2.10 images I was trying
yesterday.  It fsck'd all the partitions and came right up.  Magic. 

Absolutely nothing was different.  I walked away from it and simply pressed
ctrl-alt-del to reboot.

The only thing I can relate this to is a possibly a temperature problem, but
it doesn't explain why it would reboot/crash ONLY under Linux when it tries to
access the SCSI HD.  Doug, does this sound like something you might want to
try to fix in future releases?

In the meantime, I applied the 5.1.19 patch and compiled two 2.2.10 kernels;
one with #define MMAPIO and one with it commented out.  Next time this
happens, I'll try both and see if it helps.

Thanks everybody for your responses!

Please contact me if there are any further questions via internet mail at
jsv@sirveiss.com.  Thank you very much!
